I am very blessed that my Dad does so much work with Josiah Venture!  I get to see him more often then I would have ever expected!  This month my Dad came to help counsel at the JV Marriage conference in Krakow.  He came in early before the conference and I traveled up to visit him for a couple of days.  It was really fun to be together with my Dad.  I don’t believe, we ever have a down moment when we are together.  We had such wonderful conversations and time together.  This time, since we had both seen Krakow before, we decided to be a little touristy and go see several sites.  We went one day to see the famous Krakow Salt mine.  At one point in time it was 1/3 of Poland’s total economy!   Poland has a population of around 40 million people.  Can you believe one mine being one third of the economy!  Before the time of refrigerators  Salt was valued more than Gold!  We also went to the Polish Aviation Museum, which was quite interesting. Finally, we visited the Oscar Schindler Factory, you may be familiar with the movie Schindler’s list which was based on his life.  It was a very interesting and sad museum.  It was hard to be reminded of the evil and depravity of man, but was encouraging, that in all the evil God still draws some out for good purposes.  May we be a people who, no matter what, stand for the lives of others!  It reminds me of the holocaust that has been going on for many years now in our country and around the world!  Please take a moment and pray for the hearts of our nation to be turned to the light and away from abortion!   I am thankful I could experience these things with my Dad!
